Manisha Koirala says she's having a long-standing 'romance with Paris'. So much so that the Bollywood actress is all set to buy a house in the city she calls her 'second home'.

'I've always been a wanderer. I've always gone with my heart. But my romance with Paris has outlasted all others, ' Manisha told.

'I've been away from Mumbai for so long. It's good to be back. Mumbai will always be my home, but Paris and I seem to be attached in strange unexpected ways. I've always found the city extremely romantic. Paris just oozes art, culture, tradition and bonhomie. Every time I go there, I feel completely at home.'

Manisha, who was seen in the recently released 'Mehbooba', took a longish break to be alone in Paris.

'And I absolutely loved it. That's when I decided I wanted a second home. I'm in the process of buying my dream home there. Whenever I'm shooting in Mumbai, which would be quite a lot from now on, I just need to catch the next plane. My family can come and join me in Paris any time.'

For Manisha, family comes first - above career and self-fulfilment.

'Recently we were all together when my father fell ill. I saw how my mother looked after my father. Some day in the near future I hope to be an equally good wife and mother, ' she said.

Manisha, who took a sabbatical from acting, is in the process of making a grand comeback. She has lost oodles of weight and looks the way she did in her career-making classics like Sanjay Bhansali's 'Khamoshi', Mani Ratnam's 'Bombay' and 'Dil Se'.

'I know I made serious career mistakes. One lives and learns. I've been restless. But now there's a great deal of spirituality and calm in my life. The home in Paris is an extension of my growth and equanimity as an individual, ' she said.

The actress also intends to direct a film soon. In fact, she went to New York University to learn editing and direction.

'I know, I have it in me. Some day soon I'll direct a film. But it has to be a natural process. I won't persuade myself to do anything I don't believe in. I never have.'
